My only concern is what Grant mentioned

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2025-September/016865.html

that these disks are really not meant for server use and that we should look for  Pro or Data
Center editions disks from resellers.

I'm not sure of reliable resellers though and an unreliable one is probably worse than getting not optimal disks.

Grant,

You have any thoughts on good resellers.  I don't think we want to spend more than $2000 on these disks
Given we might not have use for this server after a year or so.

Thanks,
Regina
